  • Cakewalk Blanket

    Cakewalk Blanket

    Scheepjes is celebrating 10 years of Whirl, and I had the opportunity to design something with their special edition birthday cake whirls. My Cakewalk Blanket is a continuous design, so you don’t have to cut apart your whirls or deal with lots of ends. It is worked in a series of repeatable motifs, so it’s…

  • Festival of Light Combined PDF & Catona Color Way

    Festival of Light Combined PDF & Catona Color Way

    I am so pleased to finally be able to share with you the combined PDF file for the Festival of lights pattern. This took me much longer than planned to get out partly because I was rather indecisive about the final layout. The combined PDF is not just the existing PDF’s stuck together, I have…

  • Free Mini Amigurumi Heart Pattern

    Free Mini Amigurumi Heart Pattern

    This is a simple mini-Amigurumi heart pattern. I am sure that it is not particularly unique as there are only so many ways to make a heart shape, but this is my version. I made it as small as possible because it is also included in my Make your Own Snail Amigurumi pattern as something…

    Make your own Snail

The overlay crochet provides a beautiful texture for a bag, and the gentle flow of the design reminds me of leaves or ripples under…

  • Something Extra

    Something Extra

    I did something a little silly. If you have purchased the PDF of this year or last year’s snowflake patterns, you might have noticed that there are silhouettes of the snowflakes in the background. I do this by tracing a photo of my sample snowflakes. This year I took that image and drew a sketch…

  • Island Top

    Island Top

    The name of this top is more sentimental than literal— I finished my sample just before a special anniversary trip and planned to photograph it on a tropical island, so in my mind, it’s always been “the island top.”  I designed this piece as a lightweight layer that I would like to wear over sleeveless…
